“Well, Angela,” he says, using my name again. I ask him about his talent for reinventing himself, and he gently corrects me. He”s all over social media, tweeting almost daily, and he swears it”s really him doing it. So maybe I wasn”t so crazy after all.”Ĭrazy or no, Shatner - who lives with his wife, Elizabeth, in Los Angeles - doesn”t linger on his laurels in advancing years, but eagerly branches out to all manner of careers and topics. “It”s actually something they”re developing. They came into my office one day and said they”d had the same idea, except not to run it along highway 5, but along the coastline, and the pipe would be made out of Kevlar and sunk below the beach so there would be no mountains to go over …. “Then along comes some engineers from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and some money raisers. “People said, ”Oh what does he know? He”s an actor,”” Shatner says. “Was that a great idea or what? Let me tell you what happened with that …” he says, proceeding to detail the plan, with teenage enthusiasm. “Go right ahead.” I begin to do so, but the word “gushing” triggers a brief detour about his controversial drought-solving idea last year to raise $30 billion on Kickstarter to build a pipeline down Interstate 5 to transport water from wetter regions up north to parched parts of California. “Oh, gushing”s great!” he says, chuckling. So he doesn”t mind a bit when I gush about the chance to meet my favorite Enterprise captain, even if just by phone. “It”s what generated everything that has happened to me since, and launched me into being, well, me.”

He immediately mentions the green Orion slave girl, Marta, from the 1969 “Whom Gods Destroy” episode. He especially loves his forever interstellar status with fans as James Tiberius Kirk, and insists he never gets tired of talking Trek - even when asked a dumb question (from one of my male Trekkie colleagues) about which alien was his hottest romantic encounter. Love the opportunities, love the rain, the beauty, the people. This - this life - is all we know right now. “It”s essentially all about saying yes to life, to the passions of life, to living in the moment. “In the show, I tell stories of mountain gorillas and motorcycles and love and hate and music and comedy,” he says.

The 100-minute show - which he originated in 2011 and took to Broadway and beyond - began touring again in 2014, taking audiences on a romping personal journey with goofy anecdotes, songs, jokes and even poignant moments. The latter was the prime directive of our recent 15-minute communication, as “Shatner”s World” comes to the Warfield for one night only, Jan. Hooker,” “Rescue 911,” “Boston Legal” and Priceline ads, not to mention writing dozens of books, producing documentaries, breeding horses, cutting record albums, conquering social media.Īnd starring in a one-man stage show humbly titled, “Shatner”s World: We Just Live In It.” At 84 in earth years, he”s lived a lot of life, racking up some “400 odd jobs” over the decades, he says - probably more, if you count parallel universes - from Shakespearean plays to “T.J. Sure, he”s not the same yellow-shirted lady killer he was when gallivanting around the galaxy in the 1960s. Or, in this case, to a “Star-Trek”-struck reporter interviewing Capt. “Hello, Angela,” he says, his commanding voice so familiar, so comforting to a nervous passenger on a starship imperiled by an ion storm. So, William Shatner calls me the other day ….
